Applying the Science of Getting Rich

The Science of Getting Rich was originally formulated in a book by Wallace Wattles in 1910 but the principles behind this have existed for a lot longer.

The principles behind this science are:
1. Faith/Positive thinking
2. Action
3. Gratitude

Faith, positive thinking and gratitude are based on the law of attraction which is also a central part to this science.

If you picture the life you want to live, think positively and build up your faith that this can really happen and then take action to make it a reality then you will achieve the life you want to live.

In this lens I am going to be discussing these aspects in more depth and how we can live them out practically.

The first application I want to discuss is capturing every thought.

In order to apply the law of attraction and the Science of Getting Rich we need to focus on the positive, but how often do we really do that?

In order to attract the life we want to live we therefore need to make an effort to capture every thought. Each time we think of something good that we want to happen in our lives we focus on it and allow it to build in our minds. Every time we think something negative we immediately negate it with a positive thought.

Let's say that you are currently in debt but you want to attract a life of wealth. Every time a negative thought such as "I will never get out of this mess" when seeing your bills enters your mind, replace it with a thought such as, "I find it easy to make money." Every time you think about the nice house you want to buy with the money you will one day have then you focus on this more.

Learn to reject all negative thinking and replace it with positive thoughts and you will be applying the Science of Getting Rich to your life.

In terms of the science of getting rich action should flow from thought, not the other way round. What I have found the easiest and most productive way of applying the science of getting rich is to work with what you feel inspired to do. I admit that I don't always get this right but when you do the feeling can be truly amazing.

Try to take time at the beginning of every day to visualize the life you want and then as you feel inspired get moving and do only that which you are inspired to do at the time. If this can become a habit it not only makes you more productive but you will also love everything you do.

The last principle in the Science of Getting Rich is gratitude. We need to be grateful for what we have already received in order to receive more.

One way that I find useful to apply this principle is by keeping a gratitude journal. This can either be done in your normal diary (this is where I keep mine) or else in a separate book.

I recommend using a regular diary to keep your gratitude journal whether this is your daily diary or whether it is another diary you use specifically for this purpose. The reason for doing this is that it is easy to see when you have the dates there to see if you are missing days, how many days you have missed, etc.

Make time daily, either early in the morning or late at night to fill in your list of things you have to be grateful for. Even better, if you can manage it, is to do it both in the morning and evening.

Once you start keeping a gratitude journal you will also find it easier to be grateful at other times as well because it will become a habit of gratitude.

What do you have faith for? What are you trying to attract into your life?

One way you can make this more real and apply the law of attraction and faith is to get pictures or cards that show this item. You can either use pictures of the item or a phrase that positively affirms what you are attracting into your life.

Put these cards up around your home, your office and anywhere else you pass regularly and can decorate.

Everytime you pass these cards you will be reminded of what you are attracting into your life and so will help to speed the law of attraction in your favour.
